AusFrag is no longer supporting Garry's Mod due to network abuse. We have been slapped with a massive bandwidth bill that could potentially close our doors if we continue to host this game. We have found Garry’s Mod servers are targeted almost daily in DDoS attacks which we do have protection to an extent but we are still billed for domestic packets the scrubber doesn’t filter.

We are very sorry to inform you this but it is for the future of AusFrag to say goodbye to a game title that is simply impossible run with Australian bandwidth pricing.

Hopefully the next update for Gmod 13 will breathe some life back into garrysmod. The modding community for it is basically nonexistent now in days. Hopefully someone will find a way to stop the stupid DDOS'ers aswell.

The community is what finally pushed me out of the door of developing for Garry's Mod.

Every time I would make a comprehensive, unique, complex, or original game, one of two things would happen:

1.) No one would play it.
2.) People would play it and constantly bitch about how its too hard / complicated / not enough guns (yes, I tried games that didn't have guns as a focus) / not DarkRP

My games weren't that hard or complex. It's just everyone wanted either a DarkRP or a CS:S. Anything else was ignored.

What is worse that these kinds of problems/issues happen for the stupidest of reasons. Usually involves someone who was banned for being retarded and trying to get revenge. Or just some gmod communities who hate each other. This is why I usually stick with single player. My days of multi player died when Warmelons RTS died.

Does anybody know why garrysmod is so vulnerable to ddos in comparison to other games/ why people use it more then usual?

The game itself isn't vulnerable to DDoS attacks. There's DDoS scripts some teenager sells that lets you DDoS GMod servers. And guess who buys those? Same people who buy aimbots. (which, by the way, cost twice as much as GMod itself)

I don't get how people enjoy RP, most of the "serious RP" servers seemed to be filled with people walking around doing absolutely nothing because the dumbasses who run the server make it impossible to make any money.

Most of the time it just seemed to be loads of people running up the stairs on the nexus getting hit with stun batons.

might be because role-playing isn't about making money.

though a lot of the GMod "RP" servers are pretty shitty. GMod isn't built for immersive role-playing (eg hard-coded limits on chat message length)
